|
\paragraph*{Upgrading from an earlier version} |
| 156 |
|
|
| 157 |
|
If you already have an earlier version of the code you can ``upgrade'' |
| 158 |
|
your copy instead of downloading the entire repository again. First, |
| 159 |
|
``cd'' (change directory) to the top of your working copy: |
| 160 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 161 |
|
% cd MITgcm |
| 162 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 163 |
|
and then issue the cvs update command such as: |
| 164 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 165 |
|
% cvs -q update -r checkpoint52i_post -d -P |
| 166 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 167 |
|
This will update the ``tag'' to ``checkpoint52i\_post'', add any new |
| 168 |
|
directories (-d) and remove any empty directories (-P). The -q option |
| 169 |
|
means be quiet which will reduce the number of messages you'll see in |
| 170 |
|
the terminal. If you have modified the code prior to upgrading, CVS |
| 171 |
|
will try to merge your changes with the upgrades. If there is a |
| 172 |
|
conflict between your modifications and the upgrade, it will report |
| 173 |
|
that file with a ``C'' in front, e.g.: |
| 174 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 175 |
|
C model/src/ini_parms.F |
| 176 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 177 |
|
If the list of conflicts scrolled off the screen, you can re-issue the |
| 178 |
|
cvs update command and it will report the conflicts. Conflicts are |
| 179 |
|
indicated in the code by the delimites ``$<<<<<<<$'', ``======='' and |
| 180 |
|
``$>>>>>>>$''. For example, |
| 181 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 182 |
|
<<<<<<< ini_parms.F |
| 183 |
|
& bottomDragLinear,myOwnBottomDragCoefficient, |
| 184 |
|
======= |
| 185 |
|
& bottomDragLinear,bottomDragQuadratic, |
| 186 |
|
>>>>>>> 1.18 |
| 187 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 188 |
|
means that you added ``myOwnBottomDragCoefficient'' to a namelist at |
| 189 |
|
the same time and place that we added ``bottomDragQuadratic''. You |
| 190 |
|
need to resolve this conflict and in this case the line should be |
| 191 |
|
changed to: |
| 192 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 193 |
|
& bottomDragLinear,bottomDragQuadratic,myOwnBottomDragCoefficient, |
| 194 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 195 |
|
and the lines with the delimiters ($<<<<<<$,======,$>>>>>>$) be deleted. |
| 196 |
|
Unless you are making modifications which exactly parallel |
| 197 |
|
developments we make, these types of conflicts should be rare. |
| 198 |
|
|
| 199 |
|
\paragraph*{Upgrading to the current pre-release version} |
| 200 |
|
|
| 201 |
|
We don't make a ``release'' for every little patch and bug fix in |
| 202 |
|
order to keep the frequency of upgrades to a minimum. However, if you |
| 203 |
|
have run into a problem for which ``we have already fixed in the |
| 204 |
|
latest code'' and we haven't made a ``tag'' or ``release'' since that |
| 205 |
|
patch then you'll need to get the latest code: |
| 206 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 207 |
|
% cvs -q update -A -d -P |
| 208 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 209 |
|
Unlike, the ``check-out'' and ``update'' procedures above, there is no |
| 210 |
|
``tag'' or release name. The -A tells CVS to upgrade to the |
| 211 |
|
very latest version. As a rule, we don't recommend this since you |
| 212 |
|
might upgrade while we are in the processes of checking in the code so |
| 213 |
|
that you may only have part of a patch. Using this method of updating |
| 214 |
|
also means we can't tell what version of the code you are working |
| 215 |
|
with. So please be sure you understand what you're doing. |

On many systems, the {\em genmake2} program will be able to |

to use the following options when invoking \textit{genmake}: |
automatically recognize the hardware, find compilers and other tools |

|
within the user's path (``echo \$PATH''), and then choose an |
| 466 |
|
appropriate set of options from the files contained in the {\em |
| 467 |
|
tools/build\_options} directory. Under some circumstances, a user |
| 468 |
|
may have to create a new ``optfile'' in order to specify the exact |
| 469 |
|
combination of compiler, compiler flags, libraries, and other options |
| 470 |
|
necessary to build a particular configuration of MITgcm. In such |
| 471 |
|
cases, it is generally helpful to read the existing ``optfiles'' and |
| 472 |
|
mimic their syntax. |
| 473 |
|
|
| 474 |
|
Through the MITgcm-support list, the MITgcm developers are willing to |
| 475 |
|
provide help writing or modifing ``optfiles''. And we encourage users |
| 476 |
|
to post new ``optfiles'' (particularly ones for new machines or |
| 477 |
|
architectures) to the MITgcm-support list. |
| 478 |
|
|
| 479 |
|
To specify an optfile to {\em genmake2}, the syntax is: |
| 480 |
\begin{verbatim} |
\begin{verbatim} |
| 481 |
% ../../../tools/genmake -mods=../code |
% ../../../tools/genmake2 -mods=../code -of /path/to/optfile |
| 482 |
\end{verbatim} |
\end{verbatim} |
| 483 |
|
|
| 484 |
Next, create the dependencies: |
Once a {\em Makefile} has been generated, we create the dependencies: |
| 485 |
\begin{verbatim} |
\begin{verbatim} |
| 486 |
% make depend |

The purpose of the optfiles is to provide all the compilation options |

for particular ``platforms'' (where ``platform'' roughly means the |

combination of the hardware and the compiler) and code configurations. |

In addition to the optfiles, \texttt{genmake2} supports a number of |
| 701 |
|
helpful command-line options. A complete list of these options can be |
| 702 |
|
obtained from: |
| 703 |
|
\begin{verbatim} |
| 704 |
|
% genmake2 -h |
| 705 |
|
\end{verbatim} |
| 706 |
|
|
| 707 |
|
The most important command-line options are: |
| 708 |
|
\begin{description} |
| 709 |
|
|
| 710 |
|
\item[--optfile=/PATH/FILENAME] specifies the optfile that should be |
| 711 |
|
used for a particular build. |
| 712 |
|
|
| 713 |
|
If no "optfile" is specified (either through the command line or the |
| 714 |
|
MITGCM\_OPTFILE environment variable), genmake2 will try to make a |
| 715 |
|
reasonable guess from the list provided in {\em |
| 716 |
|
tools/build\_options}. The method used for making this guess is |
| 717 |
|
to first determine the combination of operating system and hardware |
| 718 |
|
(eg. "linux\_ia32") and then find a working FORTRAN compiler within |
| 719 |
|
the user's path. When these three items have been identified, |
| 720 |
|
genmake2 will try to find an optfile that has a matching name. |
| 721 |
|
|
| 722 |
|
\item[--pdepend=/PATH/FILENAME] specifies the dependency file used for |
| 723 |
|
packages. |
| 724 |
|
|
| 725 |
|
If not specified, the default dependency file {\em pkg/pkg\_depend} |
| 726 |
|
is used. The syntax for this file is parsed on a line-by-line basis |
| 727 |
|
where each line containes either a comment ("\#") or a simple |
| 728 |
|
"PKGNAME1 (+|-)PKGNAME2" pairwise rule where the "+" or "-" symbol |
| 729 |
|
specifies a "must be used with" or a "must not be used with" |
| 730 |
|
relationship, respectively. If no rule is specified, then it is |
| 731 |
|
assumed that the two packages are compatible and will function |
| 732 |
|
either with or without each other. |
| 733 |
|
|
| 734 |
|
\item[--pdefault='PKG1 PKG2 PKG3 ...'] specifies the default set of |
| 735 |
|
packages to be used. |
| 736 |
|
|
| 737 |
|
If not set, the default package list will be read from {\em |
| 738 |
|
pkg/pkg\_default} |
| 739 |
|
|
| 740 |
|
\item[--adof=/path/to/file] specifies the "adjoint" or automatic |
| 741 |
|
differentiation options file to be used. The file is analogous to |
| 742 |
|
the ``optfile'' defined above but it specifies information for the |
| 743 |
|
AD build process. |
| 744 |
|
|
| 745 |
|
The default file is located in {\em |
| 746 |
|
tools/adjoint\_options/adjoint\_default} and it defines the "TAF" |
| 747 |
|
and "TAMC" compilers. An alternate version is also available at |
| 748 |
|
{\em tools/adjoint\_options/adjoint\_staf} that selects the newer |
| 749 |
|
"STAF" compiler. As with any compilers, it is helpful to have their |
| 750 |
|
directories listed in your {\tt \$PATH} environment variable. |
| 751 |
|
|
| 752 |
|
\item[--mods='DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 ...'] specifies a list of directories |
| 753 |
|
containing ``modifications''. These directories contain files with |
| 754 |
|
names that may (or may not) exist in the main MITgcm source tree but |
| 755 |
|
will be overridden by any identically-named sources within the |
| 756 |
|
``MODS'' directories. |
| 757 |
|
|
| 758 |
|
The order of precedence for this "name-hiding" is as follows: |
| 759 |
|
\begin{itemize} |
| 760 |
|
\item ``MODS'' directories (in the order given) |
| 761 |
|
\item Packages either explicitly specified or provided by default |
| 762 |
|
(in the order given) |
| 763 |
|
\item Packages included due to package dependencies (in the order |
| 764 |
|
that that package dependencies are parsed) |
| 765 |
|
\item The "standard dirs" (which may have been specified by the |
| 766 |
|
``-standarddirs'' option) |
| 767 |
|
\end{itemize} |
| 768 |
|
|
| 769 |
|
\item[--make=/path/to/gmake] Due to the poor handling of soft-links and |
| 770 |
|
other bugs common with the \texttt{make} versions provided by |
| 771 |
|
commercial Unix vendors, GNU \texttt{make} (sometimes called |
| 772 |
|
\texttt{gmake}) should be preferred. This option provides a means |
| 773 |
|
for specifying the make executable to be used. |
| 774 |
|
|
| 775 |
this is used when you want to run the model in parallel processing mode |
\end{description} |
|
under jam (see section on parallel computation for more details). |
|
|
\end{itemize} |
|
| 776 |
|
|
|
For some of the examples, there is a file called \textit{.genmakerc} in the |
|
|
\textit{input} directory that has the relevant \textit{genmake} options for |
|
|
that particular example. In this way you don't need to type the options when |
|
|
invoking \textit{genmake}. |

There there are also higher polynomials for the equation of state: |

|
\item['\texttt{UNESCO}':] The UNESCO equation of state formula of |
| 1042 |
|
Fofonoff and Millard \cite{fofonoff83}. This equation of state |
| 1043 |
|
assumes in-situ temperature, which is not a model variable; \emph{its use |
| 1044 |
|
is therefore discouraged, and it is only listed for completeness}. |
| 1045 |
|
\item['\texttt{JMD95Z}':] A modified UNESCO formula by Jackett and |
| 1046 |
|
McDougall \cite{jackett95}, which uses the model variable potential |
| 1047 |
|
temperature as input. The '\texttt{Z}' indicates that this equation |
| 1048 |
|
of state uses a horizontally and temporally constant pressure |
| 1049 |
|
$p_{0}=-g\rho_{0}z$. |

\item['\texttt{JMD95P}':] A modified UNESCO formula by Jackett and |
| 1051 |
|
McDougall \cite{jackett95}, which uses the model variable potential |
| 1052 |
|
temperature as input. The '\texttt{P}' indicates that this equation |
| 1053 |
|
of state uses the actual hydrostatic pressure of the last time |
| 1054 |
|
step. Lagging the pressure in this way requires an additional pickup |
